crack of dawn

Another old habit of mine: getting up very early in the morning to catch the first light of the day. It’s just a perfect start of a day to take a walk in the morning, breathing the fresh air, listening to the birds and watching the sun rise.

This is not a HDR image, as you might suppose. I blended this manually from 3 different exposures.

    Am a fan of first light too. It always turns me into a mad man though, light changing so fast, it gets me running round all over the place trying to capture things.
    Nice image here, well done with the combo.

    @ROB: Haha, yes. I’m acting like this as well sometimes. A tip: find your motif before the light comes, set up the cam and wait for the sunrise.

    Nice shot, worth getting up early for sure. Thing is, if you blended the shot manually from 3 exposures, that IS a HDR image… no? Whether it’s automatic or manual blending, I mean…
    *confused* :-)

    Very nice. I’ve only just recently begun to fully appreciate the morning light. I was able to catch quite a few sunrises over the past few weeks, though normally I’m not a morning person . It’s totally worth it when you get some great light and fog to go along with it! Nice shot for sure.
